The hydraulic system features a total flow of 9.5 gpm (36.0 lpm), with 5.4 gpm allocated to the pump and 4.1 gpm to steering. The rear Category I hitch provides a lift capacity of 2138 lbs (969 kg) at the ends. The tractor includes a 540 RPM rear PTO, with an optional mid-PTO available for mid-mounted implements.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
For operator safety, the tractor is fitted with a two-post folding ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure). Handling is facilitated by power steering and wet disc brakes. With a wheelbase of 59.1 inches and a total weight of 1554 lbs, the machine offers a stable footprint while maintaining a compact profile for storage and transport.
